Throwback Thursday ~ Feb 6th

Just out one day for a walk to see what I could find along the way and this just grabbed me. This is alway a prime example of always look behind you. I was actually heading in the opposite direction and decided to cut across the street and noticed this scene.

This imposing basilica, constructed from 1824 to 1829 and completed in the early 1840’s, was the first significant example of the Gothic Revival style in Canada. Built as a parish church to designs by Irish American architect James O’Donnell, it is an outstanding example of the style’s early Romantic phase, characterized by the application of medieval features such as pointed arches, battlements and pinnacles to a classically influenced, symmetrical form. The use of the Gothic Revival for such an important building heralded the prominence the style would have in Canadian architecture.
